Gary,
That's what I've been telling you...they are coming very soon. You don't need a K6-3d either. What IS needed is SDRAM that will run 100Mhz reliably. That's coming too.
The guarantee is not that the board won't run 75m 83 or 100Mhz bus but that you can't do it unless your peripherals will run at 37.5, 41.5 and 50 Mz unless the mobo comes with an asynchonous bus. Not to mentium the speed of the SDRAM. There probably will be RAM capable of running 100Mhz reliably, soon, but it will command a premium price.
Jim

I'm sure ABIT makes a great product, Unfortunately AMD can not make sufficient product. AMD promises to have its new chip out in two months or so? Does any one remember AMD's bold statements in Feb\Mar of 97. They were going to have 30% of the market in China and the US. Could it be de ja'vu. ;-)

Eventually, AMD's partners will get tired of having the short end of the stick.
